    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have an '85 gs450 L and I was wandering what grade gas to use for this model bike.... also i took my plugs out to inspect and the left one was black and greasy and the right one was dry/crispy and like a rust color... any clues as to what my conditions might be with the plugs. i just got this bike running about 2 weeks ago... it had been sitting for 1 1/2 years

Re: '85 GS ..... what grade gas ???

The Clymer manual for my 84 gs450L specs an octane of 90 or higher - I'm not 100% though, I'd check but I'm in the process of moving so my book's packed in a box somewhere.

thanks

thanks

thanks sam .... do you mind letting me know where you got your manual. I have a GS450 L ...... but it is a 1985 probably close to the same model as yours. It was manufactured late 1984.
 
Re: thanks

Re: thanks

I got it from my favorite bike shop. Technically they're the Kawasaki dealer but they'll service anything. They ordered it in for me. It covers gs twins from '77 to '87.
